It has been about two months Arnold and the gang had returned from the jungle saving his parent's from an evil man and saving an inter village. Helga was just on her way home when she a limo in front of her house. The only people she knew other than Rhonda to have a limo was her grandparent's that loved her instead of Olga. She smiled and ran into the house to hear yelling in French and English going off at the same time. Miriam's parents never liked Bod thinking that he was a horrible father which he was. Carolina Helga's grandmother was the only one here doing the yelling with Bob.
"Fine if you want the brat take her! Olga back you're bags you're going to be living with your grandparents in Paris, France." Bob yelled, when he saw Helga at the corner of his eye. Helga looked at her grandmother who nodded with a smile making her run upstairs to back. A knock came to Helga's door when her grandmother came in.
"Little Lotte, I will pick you up tomorrow while you are in your first period ok?" Carolina said, with a thick French accent in her voice.
"Yes grandmother, goodnight."
"Good night, my dear." Carolina said, with a smile and went to bed leaving Helga with her thoughts.
She and Arnold decided to just be good friends for now to see what his feelings were to her, but now she is moving away. She smiled at the thought of finally getting out of Hill wood. Course her friends were going to be sad, but that was another story.
~the next morning~
Helga decided to change her look since it was her last day. Helga let her hair down, wore a black demi skirt with a pink top and her black ballet flats with a black demi jacket to match. Helga walked to school early shocking every one of her new look including Arnold. She walked over to Phoebe her best friend to let her know what was going on.
"Konichiwa Helga-Chan." Phoebe greeted with a smile.
"Bonjour Phoebe!" Helga said, smiling bright. Phoebe wondered what had come over her friend to change her look and ways. "Helga are you alright? You style has changed." Phoebe asked. Helga sighed knowing it was better to tell her now before the end of first period.
"I'm moving to Paris, France with my grandparents."
"Wait, aren't they the one's that own like five different opera houses in Europe?" Phoebe asked.
Helga nodded with a small smile then noticed her friend crying. She pulled Phoebe into a hug asking her for no more tears on her last day. Helga wrote her email, phone number, and address for to call, email, or write anytime. This made Phoebe smile as they walked to class together talking with sad smiles on their faces. Once in class everyone gasped at Helga's new look along with her hair being down.
"Pataki I never knew you could be so fashionable darling." Rhonda said, with a smirk.
"Hey a girl does what she can for her last day." Helga said, with a shrug. Everyone screamed what, that's when Mister. Simmons came into the room telling everyone to settle down. Everyone sat down listening to what Mister. Simmons had to say.
"I'm so sorry to say are very "special" student will be leaving us today, and will be moving to Paris, France. Helga you got anything to say before you leave." Mister. Simmons asked her.
"Nah I'm good Simmons you continue you're lesson." Helga said smirking with her arms crossed.
Soon class had begun and everyone was not paying attention to the lesson at all. It was in the middle of the class a knock came to the door. Helga stood up when her grandmother walked into the room with paper work for Simmons to sign. Helga and Phoebe hugged one last time before she left along with everyone else including Arnold. What he didn't know is Helga left her pink ribbon in his back pocket. Helga walked over to her grandparents as they talked to Mister. Simmons.
"Petite lotte êtes-vous prêt à aller?" (Little lotte are you ready to go?) Carolina asked, smiling.
"Oui grand-mère, je Suis prêt à aller." (Yes grandmother, I'm ready to go) Helga said, while walking out of the room with her. On the way to the airport Helga couldn't help but be nervous living in a different country where she knew no one. The flight was to long for her liking making her sigh while sitting in first class.
"Don't worry so much Little Lotte everything will be great I promise you." Carolina told her granddaughter. Helga only nodded with a small smile, when she realized she could be herself and no one would make fun of her like they would have in Hill wood.
~Paris, France~
"Welcome home, Helga." Carolina said, as the rode past everything which was so beautiful especially at night. They had arrived at the mansion when they heard a squeal from the top of the steps. It was her childhood summer friend Meg Giry when she comes to visit her and Meg would dance and play together all the time at her grandparent's opera house. Helga was tackled to the floor by her friend which made them both laugh. Carolina decided to leave the girls alone to catch up.
"Omg I can't believe you're here Helga and to stay! This is going to be great!" Meg squealed, while clapping her hands. Helga nodded in agreement looking Meg up and down seeing that nothing about her changed except her style of clothes. Meg was wearing a light blue demi skirt with green tank-top and white sandals.
"Oh Helga did I tell you mother adopted a child, now I have a year older then us brother."
"Really? Can I meet him please?" Helga asked, wanting to meet him.
Meg was about to say yes when she heard her mother calling her. Helga told her that she could meet him when she was done unpacking and when Meg was done with her mother. Meg nodded with a smile and went to find out what her mother wanted while Helga went to settle in. When getting to her room she heard her piano being played, but her grandfather was downstairs.
~Helga's prov~
Quietly and Slowly I opened the door to find a boy older then her by a year playing it. He had black hair, tan skin and was very handsome and that's when I noticed he wore half a mask on the side of his face. Closing the door quietly as best as I could to not disturb this beautiful and dark music that drew me in for some strange reason like he knew my pain. When the song was done I cleared my throat making the boy jump.
"You play beautifully." I said.
"Thank you miss." The boy said, blushed a little.
I couldn't help but giggle at the boy's shyness towards me. I slowly walked over to him and held out my hand. The boy looked at me confused but grabbed my hand and began to shack hands with me.
"I'm Helga G. Cecile, since my grandparent's changed it their last name and you are?"
"I'm Erick Daae, so you're the one everyone around here and at my place keep talking about."
Now it was my turn to blush as I nodded with a small smile. I and Erick blushed when they noticed they were still holding hands together. Erick cleared his throat while I played with my hair.
"Sorry," they said at the same time. Both of them began to laugh. I couldn't help but wondered what was under the mask, but deciding not to ask until he was comfortable with me to tell me or show me.
"So you're Helga, you're grandparents say you have a beautiful singing voice may I hear it? Since you heard me play."
"Well it is only fair, so you're in luck bucko." I giggled. Erick smirked as he played angel on the piano for her to sing. (Play Jackie Evancho here singing Angel) When I was done Erick began to clap with a smirk while standing up. Erick told me that I sounded very good with the right teacher I would be amazing. I thanked him, but I didn't know where to find a teacher with a new country.
"I can teach you." Erick said, playing with some keys.
"Really? You'll be my angel of music Erick?" I asked, giggling with a tease in my voice. Erick chuckled. "But of course, even an angel like you need's an angel to protect her." I playfully shoved him as he shoved me right back. Erick and I kept talking to get to know get to know each other. When I asked him.
"Why do you wear half a mask Erick?"
Before He could answer Madame Giry and Carolina come in with smiles at us.
"Erick darling come we are leaving now." Madame Giry said, smiling at the children. Erick sighed but nodded without giving me one more look at before he left. Meg ran over and hugged me saying she would see her tomorrow. Carolina and I walked them to the door while Erick and my hand's brushed a few time making us blush. Madame Giry, Carolina, and Meg saw this and couldn't help but giggle.
"Little lotte!" An old man's voice boomed in the entrance way.
"Grandfather!" I yelled, running over to him giving him a hug.
Both I and grandfather laughed as he swung me around. He patted my head while saying good-bye to their guests. I ran over to Erick and grabbed him by his wrist. Erick looked at me confused for a moment until he saw me smile.
"Come over tomorrow with Meg, I love to see you again my angel of music." I said, truthfully and teasingly making us both last. Erick bowed saying as you command than left with the Giry's. I blushed with a small smile then closed the door. When I looked up and saw my grandparents smirking.
"What?!" I asked.
"Only here for one day and she already has a boyfriend." Grandfather chuckled. I looked at my grandparents yelling do not. All three of us laughed, but I had to admit Erick was very interesting character that I would love to solve especially behind that mask. After unpacking and getting ready for bed I couldn't help but wonder how Phoebe was holding up without me.
~Erick's Prov~
I was playing in a bedroom thinking no one would bother me here. As I was in the middle of my song I heard the door slowly open I thought I was just Meg checking on me and shrugged it off and continued my playing. When I was done I heard someone clear their throat making me jump a little. There stood someone who was not Meg at all. She had beautiful blond hair that ran down her back with these gorgeous deep blue eyes and a smile like the angel's themselves couldn't beat even if they try.
"You play beautifully." She said.
"Thank you miss." I said, blushed a little.
Slowly she walked towards me while sticking her hand out. Being a gentleman I shook her hand with a smirk. When I heard her voice it was music to my ears.
"I'm Helga G. Cecile, since my grandparent's changed it their last name and you are?"
"I'm Erick Daae, so you're the one everyone around here and at my place keep talking about." I said.
So this is the famous me and my family hear about so much from them. "So you're grandparents say you have a beautiful singing voice may I hear it? Since you heard me play."
"Well it is only fair, so you're in luck bucko." She giggled. I smirked as I played angel on the piano for her to sing. (Play Jackie Evancho here singing Angel) When she was done I began to clap with a smirk while standing up. I told her that she sounded very good with the right teacher she would be amazing. Helga thanked me, but she didn't know where to find a teacher with a new country.
"I can teach you." I said, playing with some keys not knowing why I offered.
"Really? You'll be my angel of music Erick?" Helga asked, giggling with a tease in her voice. I couldn't help but chuckled. "But of course, even an angel like you need's an angel to protect her." Helga playfully shoved me as I shoved her right back. Me and Helga kept talking to get to know get to know each other. When Helga asked me something that made me freeze.
"Why do you wear half a mask Erick?"
Before I could answer Madame Giry and Carolina come in with smiles.
"Erick darling come we are leaving now." Madame Giry said, smiling at us. I sighed but nodded without giving Helga one more look at before I left. Meg ran over and hugged her best friend saying she would see her tomorrow. Carolina and Helga walked us to the door while mine and Helga's hand brushed a few time making us blush. Madame Giry, Carolina, and Meg saw this and couldn't help but giggle.
"Little lotte!" An old man's voice boomed in the entrance way.
"Grandfather!" Helga yelled, running over to him giving him a hug.
Both Helga and Robert laughed as he swung her around. He patted her head while saying good-bye to their guests. Helga ran over to me and grabbed me by my wrist. I looked at her confused for a moment until I saw her smile.
"Come over tomorrow with Meg, I love to see you again my angel of music." Helga said, truthfully and teasingly making us both laugh. I bowed saying as she commanded than left with the Giry's.
When we left Meg kept on teasing me for liking Helga. I told her not to be ridicules that I was only trying to be nice since she didn't have friends here. Meg kept going on how she was her friend since diapers. I kept ignoring Meg until I got to my room to try and get some sleep.
